Let PSA Help Turn Your Cardboard Into GOLD

Why should you have PSA grade your cards? The answer to this question is very simple. The number one reason to have your cards
authenticated and graded by PSA is the increased value that PSA grading can bring them. Collectors, especially those new to the hobby,
sometimes wonder if it's really necessary to have their cards graded. If you want to maximize the value of your trading cards and realize the
best prices if you choose to sell, the answer is absolutely!

Simply put, cards and collectibles graded by PSA can be worth considerably more than those that are not. When you buy a PSA-graded collectible
or submit an item to PSA for grading, you get the most accurately graded collectible, and it's certified by the brand that's the most respected
in the hobby. You'll never have to rely on subjective opinions or the word of a seller. This is why PSA-graded collectibles generate higher market
values than ungraded items or those graded by any other company.

The chart below provides examples of the tremendous increase in value PSA grading generates compared to the value of ungraded cards.
The results are overwhelming. Whether your cards are stars or commons, vintage or modern, sports or non-sports, PSA can help generate record prices for your cards.

The ungraded prices listed in the chart above represent the approximate values at the time the card sold. These values were obtained from hobby price
guides such as Beckett and the Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards.

Reinforcing our commitment as the industry standard, PSA offers a guarantee that ensures the accuracy of the grade assigned to any PSA-graded card as
long as the card remains in its tamper-evident holder. Utilizing the PSA 10-point grading scale that is accepted and trusted industry-wide, the hobby's most
knowledgeable grading experts carefully render unbiased third-party opinions of each card we evaluate. PSA provides the highest level of objectivity achievable;
our graders do not have any financial interest whatsoever in the collectibles they grade. Also, by using unique tracking numbers and generic packaging,
every measure is taken to conceal the owners' identities.

Every card graded by PSA is encapsulated in our tamper-evident, sonically sealed, high-security capsule. These visually appealing, optical-grade, hard plastic holders
provide a secure, firm fit that safeguards your card from pressure and most damage. Once encased, you can rest assured that your cards will remain intact, barring an
extraordinary event such as flood or fire. The PSA storage capsule provides excellent long-term protection for your cards.

Each PSA-graded card is given a unique serial number that can be used to verify its history and grade. By visiting our website and typing in the certification number,
all of the pertinent information on the label, such as the grade, card number and manufacturer, is provided for you. These unique numbers are permanently stored
in our database.

By providing the advantage of protection of impartial, third-party grading, PSA has created a market in which collectors can participate with complete confidence and trust.
